Hello Jungle painters,
it has been far too long since we challenged you, right?

2016's Mad Max Car Contest 2 was the last contest we held here in the jungle, but now it is time for something fresh: The monkeys of MV challenge you to show your creativity, show us your skills and put your knowledge to test. Paint like you are and happy painting are the guiding words for this contest, but the topics are quite uncommon.

Let us introduce two challenges to you:

Josua and Roman came to the conclusion to set this up.
One topic for the challenge comes from Josua and the other one from Roman.
Both topics are very different. You can participate in both in the given timeframe.

We will now guide you through the ruleset of this contest and of course show you what you can win if you pick up your brushes and basing skills for this magnificant tsunami of fun. In the end you will find the overall rules for this event and MV's prizes that we got ready for you.

Base with water - Challenge Rules

- Build a water-themed base

- As this Callenge is about water, it has to contain water elements make sure your base represents at least one element in the liquid physical state of water.

- Of course you are allowed to add small animal or another small storytelling detail or such to your
base, but we do not want to see a full figure on the base. It's about basing love.

- Build a base to your model or use it out of the box, conversions are allowed

- To be able to judge this category we only allow entries with one Infinity figure. No other additional
figures are allowed. Of course you can add a snake, a butterfly or another small animal to your
bases.
- No rules on painting the model. Do what you want!
- Enjoy painting it and sent us your final result to take part in this challenge
- If you are in need of inspiration on how to tackle such a paintjob, check this article!

Overall Challenge Rules

- Sent your entries in until October 19th 2017,
as soon as the calender hits the 20th on Roman's time (located in Augsburg, Germany) entries are not accepted. You will recieve a confirmation mail once your entry was checked. Please write your full name and adress to the email. We need this in case you will win a prize.

- For each challenge entry sent a minimum and maximum of three photos tojarhead---at---massivevoodoo---dot---com- Please know that we are judging from your photos, give your best to present your entry and do decent photos.- Entries who have been published in their final version before the contest ends are not participating.
- You are allowed to show work in progress photos.
- You are allowed to take part in both categories, but only with one entry per category.

Judging both challenges will be judged by the team of this contest, Josua and Roman.
Both are not allowed to take part in the challenge or if they want, then they participate "out of competition". Every other person interested in taking part is allowed to. Except Roman and Josua, also members of the MV-Team are not starting out of competition and can participate legally.

We judge your creativity and the beauty of your entry in both categories.

By entering this contest you allow Massive Voodoo to use your photos for articles about this contest. You still own the copyrights, but you allow MV to handle them through their platforms.

In each of the challenge categories we will hand out three Massive Voodoo Medals:
Gold, Silver, Bronze. This makes six medals overall.

Wonderful. Very nice idea to have two challenges. Just one question, though. You wrote that "Entries who have been published in their final version before the contest ends are not participating". Does that mean, we're not allowed to take the competition piece to the SMC, which happens to be at the deadline weekend? Would love to do both ;-)

@InquizarusQuestion 1: No. Rules say: "- Of course you are allowed to add small animal or another small storytelling detail or such to your base, but we do not want to see a full figure on the base. It's about basing love."

I could built a water base for my WD Infinity Miniature, take a photo of it without the miniature on top - entering the basing competition. After that i put the Infinitiv miniature on top - entering the Infinity competition. Right or wrong?

Roman, you mentioned that WIP pictures are allowed... Must these pics be from these 3 in summary? So is it 2 from the project plus 1 WIP because maximum of 3 or may it be 3 from the project plus some additional about the WIP?
